You should not have hydrogen peroxide in your body to start with, but when it touches organic material, the extra oxygen molecule is stripped off and it becomes water.

What enzymes are involved in breaking down toxic products from aerobic respiration?

In aerobic respiration glucose is broken down to release energy and the only toxic products formed are carbon dioxide CO2 and apart from that excess water and it is not difficult to get rid of these things.This is called excretion (removal of toxic waste products of metabolism.)


What is a function of peroxisome?

Peroxisomes are organelles from the microbody family and are present in almost all eukaryotic cells. They participate in the metabolism of fatty acids and many other metabolites. Peroxisomes harbor enzymes that rid the cell of toxic peroxides.


What are analogies for plant cell Peroxisomes?

Peroxisomes are membrane-bound packets of oxidative enzymes. In plant cells, peroxisomes play a variety of roles including converting fatty acids to sugar and assisting chloroplasts in photorespiration. In animal cells, peroxisomes protect the cell from its own production of toxic hydrogen peroxide. As an example, white blood cells produce hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria. The oxidative enzymes in peroxisomes break down the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. A good analogy would be something that gets rid of toxic waste.


How is Epsom salt on cuts or soars?

I use them all the time. I have Fibromyalgia so chronic pain is something I have to live with. I use the Hydrogen Peroxide and Epsom salts to get rid of my pain. Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is basically water with an extra molecule of oxygen. When you take a 'Hot bath' your pores are open the Hydrogen Peroxide goes straight to the muscle. Oxygen makes the muscle relax. Epsom salts are high in minerals. calcium is a known pain reliever for muscles. Try it.. it doesn't hurt at all. I take them weekly. I've never had it sting in any way but. Epsom salt is used often in your bath salts that you buy from any store. all it is is mineral salts. If bath salts don't sting then Epsom salt won't sting. Unless you have a pretty badly infected cut. and then the sting is really beneficial. it means it's working in killing the infection.. I can't imagine a bath of hydrogen peroxide and Epsom salt being at ALL a good thing. If you have any cuts or sores, it will burn like mad. I just don't see the benefit to bathing in this mix. Please think twice.

Can hydrogen peroxide get rid of rust?

Hydrogen peroxide can help remove light rust from metal surfaces by acting as a mild oxidizing agent. You can soak the rusted object in hydrogen peroxide for a few hours or overnight, then scrub off the loosened rust with a brush or cloth. However, for heavy or stubborn rust, you may need to use additional methods such as a rust remover or sanding.

Can you remove black mold using hydrogen peroxide?

Pour hydrogen peroxide at 3% concentration into a spray bottle and spray it on the black mold. You need to use caution when using peroxide as a mold cleanup solution especially peroxide bleaches, so try not to use it on porous materials and fabrics. There are other solutions or chemicals you can use for those kinds of surfaces.-You can also use a bleach and water as a mold cleanup solution, but bleach does not kill the root spores. Bleach is just a temporary treatment for the affected area. Unless you get rid of the roots, mold will form again in that area eventually.
